UP is big time where I live. When I go to look at trains working the Roper Yard, I look at the so-called Armour Yellow that UP says they use. If there are 15 locomotives sitting on ready tracks or working the yards, you will see 15 variations of Armour Yellow. The only time the yellow paint matches with other units is when they have just come out of the paint shop. Apparently the paint used by UP begins to oxidize as it departs the spray equipment used to place it. Who knows? I would encourage you to go look at the variations in yellow on UP locomotives. I would then encourage you to call the variations in yellow paint on your models prototypical. <br /> <br />Tom
